Handle with care as that a flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged. Special procedures must be followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary. A telephone number for additional information." This document is required for any shipment where the lithium battery handling label is required (i.e. Section IB and Section II) and is intended to be separate to the package. If there are less than/equal 4cells/2 batteries contained in equipment then "Lithium metal batteries in compliance with Section II of PI970 (4 cells/2 batteries or less)” must be added in the nature and quantity of goods box of the air waybill for all shipments to/from/within Asia Pacific Region This requirement is based on the Asia Pacific operators variations. However in this case the lithium battery handling label or additional documentation is not required. Packages complying with the Section II (PI968, PI969 and PI970) must be marked with :“PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES — FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT.”
